Tavares can only sign for 7 years with Tampa

And negates your chances of resigning Kuch/Point next year, and Vasilevski/Sergachev after that.

Tampa can only do 7 years with Tavares, And good luck affording Nikita Kucherov when he's asking for the same kind of money.

It can be done. If we don't resign JT Miller, we can offer that $ to Point. When Strals comes off the books next yr, you add his 4.5M to Kuch which brings him over 9M. Call up Foot to replace Strals. Girardi comes off the books next yr too, put that 3M towards Vasy putting him at $6.5M and Serg do a bridge deal in 2 yrs by moving an offensive player out. It can be done, question is do we want JT. I would rather go after E. Karlsson next yr. But trust the Yzerplan. He knows what he is doing.
